Islamic invasion pulls trigger: Europe now scrambles for guns

Austrians are arming themselves at record rates in an effort to defend their households against feared attacks from Muslim invaders.

Tens of thousands of Muslim “refugees” have poured into Austria from Hungary and Slovenia in recent months on their way to Germany and Sweden, two wealthy European countries that have laid out the welcome mat for migrants. More than a million will end up in Germany alone by the end of this year, according to estimates from the German government.

Obtaining a working firearm and ammunition in Germany, Britain, Denmark and the Netherlands is practically impossible for the average citizen. Germany, for instance, requires a psychological evaluation, the purchase of liability insurance and verifiable compliance with strict firearms storage and safety rules. And self-defense is not even a valid reason to purchase a gun in these countries.

The laws in Austria, while still strict, are a bit less overbearing.

A Czech TV report confirms that long guns – shotguns and rifles – have been flying off the shelves in Austria, and Austrians who haven’t already purchased a gun may not have a chance to get one for some time. They’re all sold out.

Okay then, any of our european FReeper correspondents care to comment? "You don't need guns." they said. "We'll protect you." they said. "You don't want to be like the wild west USA." they said. Reality sux don't it.

Sounds like an underground market is ready to blossom, devil be damned the permit when your life has been put in jeopardy by the very same folks who require you to go through an insane process to deny you one...

If this desire to be armed has already come to the attention of the press, and the press finds is worthy of mention, you can bet your sweet patootie that that underground market has already blossomed and is flourishing.

Let’s take a quick trip in my way-back-machine.

It is the summer of 1945 and Europe has been flooded with armed and aggressive non-Europeans. They were wearing the uniform of the Soviet Army.

Does anyone with a working brain believe that the Rape of Berlin occurred only in Berlin?

Now, 70 odd years later the women of Europe are experiencing the same horrors that their great-grandmothers and grandmothers went through. And their political elites protected by armed guards say that self defense isn’t justification enough!

If I am in that area, there are shadows of the former occupier being occupied....

This will overwhelm any “government controlled arming” as it will be too late when they show up at your door...

I have a hunch there are a few Stens, Shmiesers, Lugers etc. buried in the crawl space in Europe.

This is no lie. I have a French friend who lives here now...he called his parents the other day who still live in France and they were terrified that Muslims had been slated to be “imported” into a town 40 miles from them.

Sorry. Ignore post #12. Wrong thread.

(Still entertaining though).

I bet hammers and nail guns are flying off the shelves, as are bolt lock hardware.

Stupid search feature. I always use it and several times it has failed to show that a post is already there. Sigh. Oh well.
